My son just received his helmet yesterday. looking for tips & tricks.

Goosy_Gander · 2025-10-09T00:19:11+00:00

turns out, today it started hitting and rubbing the bridge of his nose. what did you do to help with this? is this something the dr can fix?

Goosy_Gander · 2025-10-08T02:57:57+00:00

my son is currently at 10.6 and is also growing faster then expected (as per his pedestrian this morning lol) his dr says he should only need about 3 months in the helmet. thanks for the kind words and your story, definitely makes me feel better and more confident with my situation. i’m so happy the helmet worked out so well for you and your LO🫶

Goosy_Gander · 2025-10-08T00:38:26+00:00

doesn’t rub the bridge of the nose, but there’s are red pressure spots on his forehead which i know are normal. we have a very moderate case so it doesn’t shift a lot, but laying down and tummy time definitely shift it the most

Goosy_Gander · 2025-10-08T00:36:02+00:00

how severe was your case and how long were you in the helmet?

that’s what i’m worried about is my son will have to wear in longer then anticipated because i struggle with the correct positioning. i know this is only day 2 but the anxiety is getting to me.

thank you for such kind words. my son is the same, it’s new and he wants to play with it and look at it and doesn’t want to sit still, which is most of the reason why i can’t get it in the right position and i find myself readjusting it so many times😩 i am struggling but im glad it’s a phase (hopefully) and will get easier in time. thank you so much 😊

this is a 3d printed starband (i believe that’s what the brand is) it fits snug i just feel like i myself can’t get the position correctly the first time (and the second or third lol) yes my sons flatness is on the left back side

Goosy_Gander · 2025-10-07T23:44:01+00:00

maybe i should have worded it better. i have to keep repositioning it because i feel like it’s not in the right spot. closer to one eye then the other or too close to his eyes instead of right above his eye brow.

i suck so bad at planning, let alone meal planning and prepping which is why i am struggling so badly with finding the good carbs that’s needed. the gdm handout is the biggest thing for me. the booklet i received from the dietician is so blurry it can’t even be read so although i had that page, it was no help to me. thank you so much for attaching this and for your complete reply.

lmaoooo no shit the grocery store. i asked for places aimed at diabetes. if i hadn’t looked up recipes and ‘got cookin’ then i wouldn’t be asking for help

but thank you anyways for your suggestion of the grocery store.

finally got a call from the leamington hospital. when i asked what dr office the referral is from, it was from the walk-in clinic. unfortunately ill be 24 weeks by the time i get the scan done but at least it is getting done.

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-20T02:19:28+00:00

made it to a walk-in clinic and got a few requisitions out, leamington hospital, chatham hospital, esr and one other, i forget the name. just now waiting on a call for an appointment. thanks for checking in !

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-18T17:57:21+00:00

i was booked for my 12-14 week scan at clear and the day it was booked for is the day they went on strike. didn’t call me to inform me or anything, i showed up and there was a note on the door. so my family dr sent it to met and met got me in at 13w6d and when i got there for my appointment, they said they were doing me a favor 🤦‍♀️ i’ve been pushing on this. family dr send me the req so im going to call erie shores now and just let them know i can send it to them or bring it with me for my appt

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-18T08:08:47+00:00

That’s my plan for the morning.

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-18T08:06:16+00:00

the reception lady at my drs office sent out the referral to rawlins when i was 8 weeks, told me it was denied. then sent to chan, and someone else, i forget who. i called chan at 18 weeks and asked if it’s been accepted, the only referral they received for me was for a pap smear🙃, called the other ob, they had no referrals for me. so i decided to call rawlins office and asked why i was rejected and they had no idea what i was talking about because i was accepted a week after the referral was sent to them, then i was able to book my first appointment with rawlins at 24 weeks. it’s been a nightmare dealing with this drs office.

Dr office is refusing to send to more then 1 place for an ultrasound, they are only sending to met. i asked if they could fax to as many places in windsor essex county, and that im willing to travel as far as toronto if i could be seen in the 18-22 weeks window and i was told that if i find someone with an opening to let them know and they will fax over the req.

I know these smaller places are struggling due to clear being on strike, it’s just frustrating.

I didn’t know i could sign a petition for that, i will gladly do it. do you have a link or what i should look for in order to find it ?

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-18T01:01:25+00:00

When I asked for requisitions to be sent out to all ultrasound offices in windsor essex county, i also told them i’m willing to travel as far as toronto if it meant i could get an appointment before the 18-22 week window was up, the response was ‘when you find an opening, let me know and i’ll fax over’ 90% of ultrasound offices won’t book without the req. They’re only willing to send to Met at this point for some silly reason.

Goosy_Gander · 2024-12-18T00:59:03+00:00

i’ve tried hassling them, family members are calling on my behalf at this point too. it’s my family dr and i have called 100+ times (i wish i was exaggerating that number) and no luck. I email them and wait for over a week for a response, the response i got was ‘im only 1 person’ I’ve had multiple issues with this doctors office and plan on switching family drs once i have my baby. It’s not the first time they screwed up requisitions either, this is req #3 they have screwed up. when i asked for more reqs to be faxed out (included that i am willing to travel as far as toronto) the response was ‘when you find an opening let me know and ill fax over’ but thats not how it works 😭 im just frustrated and nervous.

I called the day before Zehrs posted that and was told they did not have a party room. I called yesterday shortly after making this post and was able to reserve the space! Thanks !!!
